McCain is very appealing to me as a moderate. I didn't want the US to goto Iraq but we are there and McCain has been very pragmatic his whole career; though he did support the war.

I am sure whoever we elect it will be much better than Bush.

Also, all three are against torture and wire-taps that would be less totalitarian lite than our current administration.

McCain not only recently voted for torture but he urged push to support torture. Although, he changes his positions so much it is hard to keep up.

 The vote was against a bill to restrict certain types of torture, he wanted it to ban all types and that is why he voted against it.

 I may or may not be voting for him, but this is one of the reasons I respect him... He doesn't mince words, his voting record is non-partisan and he has values that with reason he uses to decide the best vote in each individual case and sometime that means giving the impression of flip-flopping. 

Meanwhile, I have a question.  When did it become a bad thing to change your mind if you get new information?
